This was bad! Probably the worst restaurant we've been to in a long time! The chicken wings were burned and dried out, that should have been an indication of what was to follow. The caesar salad was nothing more than romaine letter with croutons thrown on top. I had a blackened shrimp taco, three undercooked shrimp on a huge bed of romaine lettuce dumped on some kind of stale shell, with a few morsels of corn, no black beans and cilantro could be found. My husband had a polenta dish, with sausage and mushrooms which was tasteless, the presentation was horrible. Needless to say we will not be going back there and I'm mad at myself for accepting such horrible dinners, I should have sent them both back.

No pretentions at Odieâs. Itâs a bit hidden even though itâs right on Whitney Ave. Great place to stop with friends for a drink and bar food. Their burgers, sandwiches and chili are great. They offer a surprisingly good pizza as well. Itâs a typical New Haven style pizza with very thin crust. The Happy Hour has great prices on drinks and they always have specials on beer. During Happy Hour they bring out trays of pizzas to sample. More often than not youâll find yourself ordering one to go as well. Itâs a localâs bar which also draws in plenty of students from Q.U. which is very close down the road. The bartenders and staff are very friendly. Features sports TV and music playing. Always activity in the game room with pool table.

We had a very enjoyable dinner. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. They offered a very nice menu- appetizers,drinks, salads, burgers, soups, sandwiches and wraps, pasta dishes, fish and steak and desserts . We started with Asian spareribs and a small Caesar salad- both were very good. We both ordered Bison burgers- I had a side of broccoli and my husband added mushrooms for the burger and tater tots. We enjoyed all and everything was very fresh and tasty. In addition we had very good service.

A good place to have a couple of drinks, catch a game and get some wings. A reasonable selection of bottle and draft beers. Good happy hour specials and a friendly staff. Ample parking. One drawback, when they run their wing special the place can be three deep at the bar...

Met some friends there as it was between both homes. What a delight, great waitress, Lisa M, and the menu was terrific. Everything we ordered was delicious. Their portions are very generous and the chef does a great job with the sauces. The seafood special was amazing with lobster, shrimp and scallops, the broiled scallops were delicious and came with very nicely cooked vegetables and rice pilaf and the chicken soup was delicious and truly home made. The seafood fradiavlo was great! Will definitely look forward to going back!
4. Playwright Irish Pub Restaurant

Hamden is a good way point for us on the way back to Western Mass. An Irish Pub, not an ersatz one, is a tempting destination. My wife's Fish and Chips and my Shepherd's Pie were well executed and a fine lunch to break up a 4 hour drive. My lady chauffeur stuck to Iced Tea and I had a Harp. The prices were very fair, the ambiance (including some good music on tape) was relaxing and the welcome was genuine.

A real good experience. I go at least once a month. I never had a bad meal here. Food is cooked to perfection and plentiful. Burgers are super special. All meat dishes are very high quality. Fish is average and salads are good. Great bar and wine list. Wait staff is average. Prices a little high.Parking is very limited. Same owner as Eli's Pizza across the street.

Mikro is on the A list. Itâs a great casual spot to grab good quality food and drink without breaking the bank. The newer spot is roomy and inviting . Love the house special Manhattan and their burger is my personal favorite. The management is very fortunate to have a lot of great staff. Katelyn is THE BEST .. a server with always a smile and her happy demeanor is infectious. There is also a man who waits on our table who is excellent as well, just canât remember his name.. try this spot.. you wonât be disappointed!
